Water Summit to Focus on Rethinking Water in the West in Response to Drought & Climate Change
Oct. 27 event in Sacramento will highlight the push to reexamine our relationship with water resources
Our premier event of the year,
the Foundation’s 38th annual Water Summit
on Oct. 27 in Sacramento will highlight
conversations that examine our relationship with water resources
and how best to address the challenges presented by ongoing
drought and a changing climate.
With this year’s theme, Rethinking Water in the West, a variety of policymakers, experts and officials will be discussing important topics in water across California and the West. Conversations will take place around rethinking:
- Water management in a drought-driven West
- Water rights in light of drought-spawned shortages and climate change
- The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, which acts as the state’s crucial water hub and serves as a vital ecological resource
In addition, there will be an update on the status of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act.
A science journalist and author
whose new book highlights efforts to reshape how we think about
and work with water will provide the keynote address at the
Foundation’s 2022 Water
Summit on Oct. 27 in Sacramento.
Author Erica Gies, whose new book is titled Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge, explores what she calls “Slow Water” innovations that can potentially offer resilience to the increasing severity of droughts and floods brought on by climate change. She will be signing copies of her book, which will be available for purchase at the Summit.
